Restocking: Fire Safety, Garden & Emergency Infrastructure - Non-Negotiable Protection Systems
Module 5: Team, Systems & Operations
Safety equipment is an operational obligation, not decoration. Guests are unfamiliar with your home, so the kitchen needs a fire extinguisher and fire blanket that are easy to find, and every property needs working smoke alarms, a first aid kit and clear emergency information. Spas, pools and fire pits carry extra risk, and each state sets its own rules, such as the NSW short-term rental fire safety standard.

Questions people ask
What fire safety equipment does an Airbnb need in Australia?
Working smoke alarms are required in every state, and a fire extinguisher and fire blanket in the kitchen are standard good practice. Some states set extra rules for short-term rentals, so check your own state's requirements.
What are the NSW fire safety rules for short-term rentals?
NSW short-term rental accommodation must meet a fire safety standard that includes requirements such as interconnected smoke alarms and evacuation diagrams. Check the current NSW Government guidance for your property type.
Can I use water on a kitchen fire?
Never use water on an oil or electrical fire, as it can spread the fire or cause electrocution. A fire blanket or a suitable extinguisher is the safer option.
